Google doc reveals 73 new venture capital funds raised $5.7B in 2014

Techstars managing director offers link to venture capital fund listings.

The Interweb is full of random, unexpected treasures. In this case, a Google document listing 204 venture capital funds raised since 2011 with a combined value of more than $13.9 billion.

The document is attributed to Shai Goldman, managing director at Silicon Valley Bank Capital. It also includes 19 funds that have not yet disclosed the size of their funds.

It also breaks down the number of new funds under $200 million raised since 2011. Last year produced the largest number of new funds — 73 — which raised a total of $5.7 billion. Since the start of 2015, 27 funds have raised $2.1 billion.

The funds are listed in alphabetical order, and includes the vintage, the amount, if available, a link to the fund’s start, if available, and the location of the fund.

A lot of entrepreneurs I’ve encountered in healthcare and life sciences tend to keep social media at arm’s reach. Even if they reluctantly embrace LinkedIn as a professional necessity, Twitter seems to leave a lot of people unsure of themselves. They don’t know how they can use it in a way that doesn’t make them look foolish or that gives them timely and relevant information.

I’d say this is a pretty good reason to start a Twitter account and use it.
